The Secretary of War has prepared a statement in response to the resolution of May 2, adopted by the House May 27, “dl- recting him to furnish the House with the names and rank of officers of the army promoted since April 1, 1898, “who have been retired within one year of their ‘ast promotion with a higher grade than that held at the time of their promotion.” The list contains the names of forty officers promoted and retired as brigadier generals, thirty-eight of whom were pro- moted from the grade of colonel. Of the | other two retired in that grade Gen. Wheeler was a brigadier general of volun- teers and Gen. Charle Bird was a iieu- tenant colonel in the quartermaster’s de- partment. Another name in the list is Capt. John Murphy of the infantry, who was promoted and retired as a major in the ay department.

The language of the resolution of the House in this matter is a subject of gen- eral comment in official circles. It “directs” the Secretary of War to furnish informa- tion regarding the action of the President in making the appointments in question, and the action of the Senate in confirming them, and to that extent ignores the rights of the executive and the Senate in the premises. Inasmuch as the Secretary of War has dcubt as to his powers in the matter, he forwarded the statements prepared by his direction to President Roosevelt for such action as he deemed be: $e ______ GRADUALLY ENLARGED.

The Latter Crossed the Line Two Hours Behind. KIEL, June 30.—Emperor William steered his American-built schooner yacht Meteor | across the finish line at 1:30 this morning, | two hours behind the Iduna, the empress’ yacht, which, in the lightest of airs, be- | tween flat calms, passed from the tail end | to head of the fleet. The Lasca came in sec- ond. ‘The sailing committee got in at 4 o'clock and its members went to their horaes with- out announcing the results. “Ben” Parker, skipper of the Meteor, says: 2 to fill nearly all of them and to insure enough water to make the crops certain in all except a few localities. The damage from hail was comparatively light. “They ought to pull the masts out of the Meteor and put in a motor.” ‘The emperor, Admiral von Eisendecher says, thinks v well of the Meteor, TINY YACHTS TO RACE TRIALS FOR A CHANCE AT SEA- WANHAKA CUP.

For the trial races the courses are twelve miles In length, with a time limit of three and a half hours. Each race will be sailed in three parts, the boats, after finishing four miles, being started again for another four-mile contest. The trials are held with all the careful details of arrangement cus- tomary with the races of larger boats, and a United States revenue cutter, the Dallas, will keep the course clear. There was a wind from the southeast at 11 o'clock, blowing about four miles an hour. After a conference the officials decided to send the yachts three times over a four- mile triangular course, the first leg being a beat to windward and the other two I-gs broad reaches. Five minutes after this nnouncement was made a gun was fired nd the little skimming dishes left for the arting line, about three miles down the und south of Black Rock. Judges of the Trials. The judges of the trials are: Louis V. Clark of the Yacht Racing Association of M chusetts, Ch: E. Tower of the Yacht Racing Association of Long Island Sound and Frank B. Jones of the Indian Head Yacht Club. There was a good deal of delay in pre- paring for the start, and it was not until a few minutes before noon, the appointed hour for beginning the race, that the official boat left to set buoys for the course. +++ PEACE AT CAPE HAYTIEN.

The diseovery was made by workmen engaged in tearing out the interior of a building and caused ‘such a sensation in the neigh- borhood that a detail of police was called to prevent the crowd from looting the chamber of its spurious wealth.

LEACH VINDICATED es CONFERENCE WITH COMMIS- SIONER GARFIELD. Baltimore Subtreasurership—More In- vitations for Fresident—To Attend Church Corner Stone Laying. The approachingiend of the present ses- sion of Congress brought to the new White House on Lafayette Square today a num- ber of senators and representatives who are anxious to return to their homes, and who called to pay their respects to the President. Among the earlier callers were Senators Quay and Penrose of Pennsylva- nia and Kean of New Jersey, Beveridge of Indiana, Allison and Dolliver of Iowa, Cockrell of Missouri, Stewart of Nevada, Kittredge of South Dakota, Fairbanks of Indiana, and Postmaster General Payne also called.

Collector Leach Exonerated. Postmaster Genersi Payne, Senator Han- na and Civil Service Commissioner Garfield had a conference with the President today regarding the political charges made by Representative Burton of Ohio and others against Collector Leach at Cleveland. Mr. Garfield had just arrived from his home in Cleveland, where he investigated the situa- tion, and today he made his report to the President. Collector Leach also is here, and has filed an affidavit denying the charges. The result of the conference was a conclusion that the charges against Mr. Leach and those mentioned in connection h him had not been substantiated, and that the collector should be reappointed. This action was taken later. Baltimore Sabtreasurership. Representative Mudd of Maryland called on the President this forenoon in the inter- est of the appointment of Adrian Posey of Charles county as subtreasurer at Balti- more. Mr. Mudd saiét he had been over the entire situation with Mr. Roosevelt, and that he believed that the latter would ap- point Mr. Posey. “It is a question that I am not at liberty to discuss publicly,” the said. ‘The Presi- dent said that theré were some things he wanted to consider more in detail.” The impression prevails that President Roosevelt jill announce the appointment of Mr. Posey or Mr. Dryden tomorrow or Wednesday. Invited to Connecticut. Senator Platt and Representatives Henry and Sperry of Connecticut asked the Presi- dent to visit Hartford an@ other cities of the nutmeg state on his trip to New Eng- land the coming fall.

Mr. Roosevelt gave assurance that the in- Vitations should have consideration. Difference Regarding an Iowa Office. General Dyrenforth, commander-in-chief of the Union Veterans’ Union, was a caller during the afternoon. He was accompanied by Mr. J. W. Patterson, collector of inter- nal revenue for the third Iowa district. Mr. n served throughout the civil war It is understood that the re- an delegation from Iowa is opposed to his appointment because Mr: H. G. Mc- Millan, the United States attorney for the dis has moved into Representative ’ congressional district, and there is n to two important government po- s in the same district. The President took the question under advisement. The President Will Attend. The Rev. Dr. J. M. Sehick, pastor of the President's church, called during the after- noon. He received assurances that Mr. Roosevelt would be present at the laying of the corner stone of the new building, 15th street between O and P street, tomor- row afternoon at 3:30o'clock.

The second copy was pre- sented to Secretary Cortelyou. The report is a historical document reviewing the progress of the national capital for one hundred years. A duplicate of the first copy will be forwarded to Mrs. McKiniey. The edition ‘s limited to, 6,000. Mr. Mac- farland said that senators and_represent- atives would have charge of the dis- tribution. Persons ‘ing copies should apply to their respeetive senators or rep- resentatives. Mr. Roosevelt recalled that he was the guest of President McKinicy at the time of the celebration. Gen. Clarkson called on the President this afternoon. He denied that his visit had any connection with the appointment of Patterson. for collector of internal revenue at Dubuque. The, Iowa State Register, of which Gen. Clarkson and his brother have been in charge for.thirty-five years, chang- ed hands today, passing to the control of Geo. Roberts, directér of the mint.

The party car cere that a bes nator Warren oj is ious to have the ion vis very anx- the scenic 28, 1901, was sentenced to the West Virginia penitentiary has been pardoned by President Roosevelt. The pe- tition was signed by eleven members of the jury and by many citizens of Washington, who know the defendant, including two of the District Commissioners and other offi- cers of the District government, most of the more prominent members of the bar, several newspaper editors, many of the most prominent business men of the city, many clergymen and presidents and other officers of several bank: In his report to the President the Attor- ney General said “The righteousness of this conviction can- not be questioned. I am moved, however, to advise you to heed the prayer of the great number of suppliants for pardon, who, by reason of familiarity with the transactions out of which the offense arose and their thorough knowledge of the offend- er, take the responsibility, evidently con- scientiously and not lightly assumed, of earnestly urging dt. Reference to the par- don attorney's report will disclose the iden- tity, number, and standing of these per- sons. “The offender's extreme age, illness and evident contrition are also considerations that contribute to the conclusion I have ex- pressed above, that this is one of the few cases for clemency upon the grounds of mercy and out of respect for a very earn- est, intelligent and decided public wish.” Canal Bill Signed. President Roosevelt signed the isthmian canal bill Saturday evening. The pen with which the bill was signed was an ordinary steel one, and given by the President to Senator Hanna, who had requested it. An interested spectator was Rear Admiral Walker, U. S. N., retired, who has been chairman of the isthmian canal commission for years. He has made a study of isthmian canals, and, by reason of a provision in the will probably be appointed a commi to superintend the construction of it. —_—~<0r.

The conferees of the two houses of Con- gress on the Philippine civil government bill have practically reached an agreement. They probably will present their report to the Senate during the afternoon. The un- derstanding provides for the elimination of the coinage question from the bill, thus postponing that question to another session for independent action. Private Secretary to Secretary Moody. Mr. Fred L. Fishback, who has been serving as confidential secretary to Secre- tary Moody since the latter's appointment. was toda appointed private secretary at year. He succeeds Mr. Cyrus © Wells, who was appointed private secretary to ex-Secretary Long to succeed Mr. Finney, deceased. position with the City National Bank of New York. Mr. Henry C. Gauss, who has been serving as assistant enrolling clerk of the House of Representatives, has been ap- pointed confidential stenographer to Secre- tary Moody at a salary of $1,800 a year. The Senate conferees held out for their silver standard provision, and the House men were just as firm in their contention for a gold standard. The democratic mem- bers of the conference were not present at the forenoon session, but it is not believed that they will make any effort to change the agreement. Many of the provisions of the two bills concerning currency, however, are retained, including the Senate regulation for subsid- jary coinage. There is, however, no effort in the present agreement to fix the money standard. That is left for the future. The House provision for a legislative as- sembly is amended so as to require that its establishment shall be preceded by a cen- sus. Two years after this census the Presi- dent is authorized to direct, through the Philippine commission, the election of a legislature if, in his opinion, the conditions justify such a course.
